The much anticipated event has finally arrived: Sturgis Bike Week. Although I never feel like it during the actual week, it is one of my favorite times of year. I always come away from the event with incredible memories, but, as always, I am apprehensive about the event.
We left by this time several days ago. Dad had to stay behind along with Mr. Richie Perko to receive a reward for our church--Excellence in Church Planning, or, as deemed by Dad, his "churchee." This was pretty exciting and important to him as this was to happen at the General Council of the Assemblies of God. Pretty big award...
So we went ahead, with Mr. Bulldog driving the RV. The trip from Pueblo to Sturgis isn't very easy. We're covering several hundred miles and crossing two states--all in one day.
The trip went well at first. We got up at some early hour in the morning that I can't remember and set off. We got through most of the trip, but just before we hit Alliance, Nebraska, we had to stop. Our brakes were locking up and we could barely stop the RV by the time we got to the nearest gas station. Mom and Mrs. Tami were on the phone instantly, calling insurance people and tow trucks. Despite all their efforts, it was over three hours before someone finally came by with a tow truck. When we did get towed, things went more smoothly. We got the RV into an auto shop and the technicians started working on the brakes immediately. We walked to a burrito shop and got dinner and by the time we were done eating the RV was ready to go! So after all the delay we did get to the church in Rapid City.
We stayed there for a few days, waiting for the other trailer of equipment to arrive. We worked on the curriculum and on flyers while we were there.
When Dad came with the other trailer, we headed to Sturgis. We had dinner at the church in Sturgis, then went to the park to sleep before the first day of Kidz Zone started…
